[quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 yr old and 21 month old seem very bright and are very verbal.  The 3.5 yr old goes to a good play-based preschool for five hours a day during the week sand I take the 21 month old to a gym class and Music Together class.  They both have swim lessons on Saturday.

We read a lot.  Spend lots of time outside at the playgrounds and parks.  They paint and do water play.  My older child knows all his numbers, letters, phonetic sounds, rhymes easily but doesn’t want to learn to read (and I don’t want to push it).

I’m looking for other enrichment things I can do.

For example, someone gave my oldest a Mrs. Wordsmith vocabulary “new word a day” flip book and both kids devoured it.  My oldest uses all the new words regularly.  We have two art books and both kids can find any artist’s work in the books by the artist’s name.  Again, these two books were a gift.

I see things like bells for learning music and the one-third stories that introduce another language on my social media feeds - are they any good?

Anything else I should be doing?  Believe me, we have the reading covered - probably two hours at least over the course of the day.  We don’t do TV but I’m not opposed.

Thank you! [/quote]
